king of the hill

Rather than speak, Bazi lowered herself into a bow that tugged insistently at Jinx's instincts. Hesitating for only a moment to discern the other's intentions, the mountain Alpha lowered herself into her own bow, though she arrogantly believed this could only end one way. She would stand victorious, and if blood was spilled then it was Bazi's own fault for even enticing her to begin with. They may once have been pack-mates, but now they were rivals, and rivals didn't play nice with each other.

She was about to make the first move when suddenly, her name sounded from behind her. Flipping back her ears with a speed that might have suggested agitation, the Alpha righted herself and turned her head to catch sight of Majesty approaching from the rear. Lately, it seemed like her wolves followed her everywhere... That no matter where she went, one of them always seemed to pop up. Most of the time, Jinx welcomed these instances, but presently it felt like an intrusion on her privacy, and it was embarrassing.

Nevertheless, the Alpha maintained a cool expression and didn't allow her heated feelings to surface. “Majesty,” she lilted in a way that suggested she was surprised to see him, “what are you doing here?” Slowly, she swivelled her left ear in Bazi's direction. Having not known her well, and having her own reasons to be suspicious, Jinx didn't trust her not to act now that her attention was pulled elsehwere.
